More Wrestling Talents & Industry Pros Pay Tribute to Dennis Condrey

As previously reported, wrestling legend and Midnight Express founding member Dennis Condrey passed away this week at 74 years old. Many industry talents and professionals are paying tribute to the former NWA Tag Team Champion.

WWE Hall of Famer and original Four Horsemen member Tully Blanchard wrote on Condrey, “I am reflecting on Dennis Condrey and Bobby Eaton during our time with JCP. 2 of the best in the wrestling business. Dennis has joined Bobby again in eternity.”

SmackDown General Manager and former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis also wrote the following about Condrey:

“RIP the great Dennis Condrey: When I think of this business as a craft, Dennis Condrey is as good as any craftsmen professional wrestling ever had. For me, pro wrestling is at it’s best when it’s a combination of technical skill, perfect timing and rugged, believable aggression; Dennis Condrey embodied that combination flawlessly. I can (and do) watch classic Midnight Express matches over and over again, and appreciate something I didn’t notice before every time I watch it. Nuances, details, absolute commitment to making the opponent with selling. A PHD in Pro Wrestling is available for free by watching this man work.

I’m grateful I had the opportunity to meet and spend some time with Dennis Condrey and the other members of the Midnights at various times over the years and let them know their contributions are deeply appreciated.

My deepest condolences to his family, friends and teammates today. We bid farewell to a genuine master.

My friend Dax Harwood has set up a GoFundMe to allow people to contribute to funeral costs and to support Dennis’ wife Theresa: Any contribution is greatly appreciated: Fundraiser by David Harwood : In Memory of Dennis Condrey.”

As noted, AEW star Dax Harwood of FTR started a GoFundMe campaign to cover Condrey’s funeral expenses. You can view the comments posted to socials regarding the late wrestler below:

RIP Dennis Condrey.
Whether it was in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, or hell even if the year was 1973 or 2026 Dennis Condrey was the best in ring wrestler in the world. Dennis was always the unsung hero even when tagging with Phil Hickerson, Beautiful Bobby Eaton, & Randy Rose.… pic.twitter.com/Ai2d8ZMRnM

I didn’t see any American Wrestling until nearly 2 years after I was already a Wrestler as it wasn’t shown in the UK. The first US Wrestling I saw was the NWA and on that tape were The Midnight Express comprising of my later tag partner Bobby Eaton and Dennis Condrey. I only met…
